late summer bouquet

I strolled through my gardens today to snip a bouquet of summer flowers before the autumn hues slowly... effortlessly... subtly transform our world into a different, but just as magnificent, landscape.

Dick made the wire and button flowers for me fashioned after a vase I had seen when we were traveling in Pennsylvania several years ago. He first made the loops to simulate flower petals, next he threaded the wire through the holes of two buttons that I had selected from my vintage collection, then he wound the wire around the vase a few times, and finally formed a loop on the back side to be able to hang the vase from a nail instead of setting it on a table.
